Expiration is not designed to just "delete one file".  It runs through entire 
database each time and deletes any and all files that meet criteria, for all 
storage pools and files.  It will do this unless there is a time limit set on 
it or it terminates abnormally.

Then reclamation will reclaim the space on tape pools for the files that were 
deleted.

Hello,

I have one primary tape pool and (I won't get into it) and two copy tape
pools.

Example:

I have three copies of a file. The file in the primary pool WILL be
"expired".
when expiration processing gets to it.

Does expiration remove AT THE SAME TIME the copies or does expiration
have go through each pool? Assuming the primary pool has one million
files
for all the nodes and only my one file meets expiration does TSM have to
search
three million records to delete all three instances of my file??

Thanks,

Mark Brown
